That we will always play better second half than the first due to our style of play. Happened with brentford, reading, QPR and to an extent Swansea. Teams come to us to press because of our passing game, normally dominate the first half a result. Then when they tire (Notably Sow for Forest tonight) we look to take the initiative and punish them (which we should have) The problem I have though is when they do tire at about 60 mins, robins never makes a change or brings on pace unless forced. Do we lack pacey options? Aside from OHare who runs at defenders?

I felt the Dacosta sub was 15mins too late. Also the Godden sub (although innifective in the end) was at the right time but only because it was forced. Robins wouldn't have made that sub at that time if his hand wasn't forced.
They made 2 defensive subs to cut O'Hare and McCallum out of the game which at that point, McCallum should have been moved to the left wing with about 15mins remaining.
